THE YAP MANDATE.
JAPAN READY TO COM. PROMISE. Br Telegrapll- Press Association— Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received March 3, 9.10 a.m.) LONDON, March 2. The Paris correspondent of the “ New York Times ” interviewed Count Ishii, who stated that Japan is ready to compromise with the United States concerning Yap. Two points should be made clear respecting Yap—-that tlio proves verbal, sent to Japan by the Supreme Council at the May (1919) meeting, which the Japanese did not attend, did not mention President "Wilson’s reservations : and that no fear was expressed by the United States concerning the imperilling of the cable communications when the Germans owned Yap. The United States Note, therefore, hurts Japanese feelings, since Japan does not desire to interfere with the cables, and is willing to consider methods for freely preserving such communications, and also for preserving Japan’s lights under the mandate.
